## Key features

- **Guided journals library:** More than 400 guided journals, prompts and templates cover topics from gratitude to work decisions, with a Discover Daily question each day. Some guided journals are reserved for Pro.
- **Flow Editor:** A rich-text editor with 14+ formatting options, including headings, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists, quotes, dividers, links and text styles.
- **Rediscover:** Past entries resurface from set points such as 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years ago, so you can look back at how things have changed.
- **AI-Enhanced Reviews:** Weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly and yearly reviews use AI to summarize themes, moments and patterns from your own entries. AI Reviews are a Pro benefit.
- **Privacy controls:** The vendor says entries are encrypted on the device, in transit and at rest. Face ID or Touch ID locks the app, a device manager revokes sign-ins, and Pro adds a lock for single entries.
- **Sync across devices:** One account syncs the journal between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web app. The free plan supports up to two connected devices and Pro removes the limit.

## Good for

- People who want prompts and guided templates instead of a blank page
- Journaling across phone, tablet, Mac and browser with one account
- Free text journaling with unlimited entries and no ads

## Worth knowing

- Photos in entries, AI Reviews, custom templates, themes and locked entries need Clearful Pro, and the free plan connects only two devices.
- There is no bulk import: the help center says no CSV, Day One or one-click migration tool exists.
- The interface is English only, and audio journaling with transcription is still marked as coming soon.
- The vendor's site lists no prices. The App Store description gives $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year, while its in-app list also shows $14.99 and $89.99.
